Spontaneous closure of isolated ventricular septal defects in the first year of life

ABSTRACT

Objective: Ventricular septal defect [VSD] is the most common heart defect that's present at birth [congenital]. The defect involves an opening [hole] in the heart forming between the hearts lower chambers, allowing oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood to mix. The aim of this study was to correlate the size and location of isolated ventricular septal defect [VSD] with spontaneous closure rate in the first year of life
